EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[BantyChooks]

You will truly like how well the goats deal with brush. They are great brush and weed control animals. They have cut down my need to brush hog enormously and they have eliminated nasty things like Buck brush and blackberry Briars. Any that do come up they eat it does take a year because the first year if you put them on say in the summer they eat the plants but don't kill them off. The next spring they will eat any leaves as they try to emerge and thus eliminate most of the brush. This is the first year I have not had to brush hog. The goats eat the brush and weeds and the horses and cows alternately eat the different grasses.

Absolutely. The weed I'm dealing with (tree, actually) just spreads quicker if you cut it. Goats or a multiple year process of bark stripping is the only way to stop it.

That sounds good. That is a lot of multiples. You don't eat any of your meat?

We used to eat 4 lamb a year. We haven't bred the sheep with my back issues. But we'll be turning the ram out as soon as we get done harvest I hope.

 

[Wickedchicken6]

That means I'm in charge of all the vice?

Maybe. Depends.

Could be heat stroke, too, if you've been working outside.

Heat stroke at this time of year?

It's hot down there.

I know it's inhumanly hot down by Kiki, but I thought FL would be a bit better since they just had a hurricane go through.

She's been saying how awfully hot and sticky it's been.
Where have you been, woman?

I have a predator tipping cages. Two of my smaller cages were moved. and one had the marshmallows extracted.
